France ?.. You can't be serious.

The first contact was in april 2020. It's either Russia or China.

I have a plan: You and me both get hired there, then you yell racist stuff at me, then I sue the company, then we split the $137M.

edit: we can switch roles if you prefer

Tesla's case was tad more serious than one employee shouting random racist remarks at another employee.

The article mentions a long pattern of racism to the point it became a part of the company's culture, a few former employees who complained about the systemic problem, a company-enforced arbitration process that systematically brushed complains under the rug as standard operating procedure, and a problem so widespread that a shareholder felt compelled to raise the issue in the company's annual shareholder meeting.

Quoted from the article:

> Institutional Shareholder Services, the proxy advisory firm, recommended shareholders vote for Nia’s proposal, noting that Tesla has faced many serious allegations of sexual and racial harassment and discrimination over the years.

In a company run by adults, your manager would discipline one of you, and the story would end there.

Easy, we'll just give the manager a cut.

I wouldn’t be so sure that adults is enough to stop grifters as grifters are adults too, they have different goals and quite often they reach them.

One of them just needs to become the manager.

You're going to need another person to become the HR rep that gets your case assigned, too, and probably that rep's manager/whomever handles appeals, as well as the manager & HR rep dealing with the cases that any concerned co-workers will raise, as well as everyone else who was involved that established a company-spanning pattern of harassment that nobody did anything about.

An absolutely trivial conspiracy to pull off, especially given that the median payout for this is closer to ~zero dollars, and most likely, a ruined career for everyone involved, and federal prison time, if any of this is sussed out. Maybe the Donald will give you a pardon once he returns to the presidency, on July 4th, 2023, or whenever.

Feel free to give it a shot, and let us know how it turns out. Meanwhile, I'm a bit busy conspiring with my buddy to become the CEO and the CFO of Tesla, respectively, so that we can take all it's money and fly to the Bahamas.

I really wish that fastmail wasn't based in australia..

edit because of downvote: I'm referencing the new data control laws (it is even beyond surveillance at this point), which makes it impossible to anyone who cares to use any autralia based products. I should have made that more clear.

The laws in question have no meaningful impact on Fastmail, and the amount of FUD concerning those laws is unreal.

Fastmail wasn't end-to-end encrypted to begin with, so laws requiring backdoors have no relevance to Fastmail. And every civilized country has some legal method to compel information from companies relating to significant criminal activity.

You're right, of course, but this simply switches the "reason not to use Fastmail" from "based in Australia" to "not e2e encrypted and can rat out your entire email history".

I don't see e2ee email happening anytime soon. The technology is just not very user friendly. And honestly, without e2ee, I don't put much trust into providers like Protonmail either because at some point the email is coming in as plain text and that's where one could always siphon it off.

I would consider that a valid position to take! I don't feel my threat model justifies the limitations of E2E email, but many do.

I am not trying to tell you to use Fastmail, just that fear of doing so explicitly because of Australian law is silly. ;)
